Tyleen, Majestic: REVIEW

Tyleen, Majestic EP (New Regime)

The inaugural release from local fashion brand New Regime’s record label is from a familiar face: LaSalle rapper Tyleen Johnson, previously of Bonsound offshoot Make It Rain. No matter the label, Tyleen is confident in her bawdy, ball-busting approach, crushing opponents with aloofness and floating from stoned to sing-song flow with ease. Reunited with producer VNCE Carter of Dead Obies, there isn’t necessarily a single calling card on the six-song EP that will jostle you – “U & I” with party starter Pahpay doesn’t hit as expected – but Tyleen’s personality comes through with flying colours. 7/10 Trial Track: “223 Freestyle”
